I’m not so sure - the more money is spent on a film, the more people with a vested interest make sure that there is nothing controversial, or challenging in it… indeed, it’s like watering down a fantastic dish and removing all the flavours to make sure as many people can palette it as possible. McDonalds vs Gourmet…

Much like Music, I would say the more money that is involved, the more bland and mediocre the ‘art’ becomes. To the point where it is merely a commerical product and is no more a work of art than a can of coke.

Perhaps I’m just old and bitter!

My parents adopted my sister out of an orphanage in Tehran when we lived there in the mid 70’s. She was abandoned on the steps of a hospital when she very young because she had polio. We actually don’t even know her true age, the orphanage just guessed. When my parents adopted her, she was completely paralyzed from the waist down. Not to mention that she had broken her arm at one point and it was set backwards. I remember going to the orphanage to meet her (I was 5, she was 6) and she crawled off a chair and pulled herself over to us with her arms - which 30 years later are still freakishly powerful.

Happy ending though. After spending most of her childhood in surgery, hospitals and body casts, her hips are fused and she can now walk. Small miracle for the 70’s and 80’s.

I’ll watch this movie first and gauge it before recommending it to her.
